It happens to me with this one story where Marco and the Whitebeard Pirates are Vikings (or at least that's how I understood it; English isn't my first language, and I got a little confused there).

Ace was from a kingdom that was attacked and ended up being sold into slavery. But even though the story is actually really good and immersive, there was this one scene that I still remember and reread every so often:

Ace standing over the bodies of his opponents, drinking the liquor he found in the ruins.

Pretty bloody, right?

But I swear, when you read it, it just takes you to another world. First of all, it's a description I've rarely come across, and like I said, the story itself is the perfect plus for the scene.

10/10, love you writers! You make my life happier when you create such beautiful and captivating stories.

What I like are the stories that portray how a part of Marco died at Marineford along with his father, stories that illustrate how difficult it is for him to simply keep breathing.

Because, in my mind, when we talk about Marco – a man who lost so much in such a short span of time – we're talking about someone who, no matter how hard he tries, is inevitably going to have lasting scars; possibly a man who will experience survivor's guilt on an unprecedented level.
